When a friend emails you at 4:00 and asks if you want to grab a drink after work, what do you say? Yes, of course. 🙂

I was so excited to see Caitlin (just home from her honeymoon in Bora Bora… sigh), so I met her and Elizabeth at Bistro Niko. I have been pretty obsessed with going to this place since I read about it opening today on Daily Candy.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I got a text from Caitlin that said, “I was officially their first customer and they all started clapping!”

I was thisclose to ordering their elderflower and sauvignon blanc cocktail, but we all decided to just go with the only French sauvignon blanc that we could pronounce- Just.

It was just what I wanted and I loved that they had a wide price range on their wine list. When I think of places to go for happy hour, I want people-watching and budget-friendly. What do you look for in bars and restaurants (other than good food)?

The perfect pour:

A packed house kitchen…

After happy hour, I met my friend Wendy next door to see Couples Retreat at 7:30. I know, I know… the movie has been out forever and I still haven’t seen it!

Fork & Screen is a great theatre… they serve food and drinks! It’s better to wait a few weeks to see a movie there- the theatres are small so they get packed pretty quickly.

I was hungry so I ordered the veggie quesadillas. They were filled with peppers, tomatoes, and cheese… they weren’t stellar, but they weren’t bad, either!

I didn’t think the movie was that great. There were a bunch of good actors in it and the setting was gorgeous, but it wasn’t as funny/clever as I thought it was going to be. Did you guys see it? What did you think?
